    Everything I excpected it to be, In a good way!

    Ghost trick takes the amazing story telling of the Phoenix Wright series and makes it even Better.

The story is well delivered, and the riddles are quite sophisticated, however, they require much less thinking than Phoenix Wright's Contradiction spotting, I might say, not to mention how short this game appears after solving each riddle, the plot advances quite quickly this way. I will not elaborate much and say that the cross between the creative story and the imaginative puzzles is very amusing, and basically this game is a must have, if not as a game, as a graphic novel.

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective certainly qualifies: it’s a totally original IP that puts a unique spin on the adventure genre, which has sorely needed some innovative ideas.The player takes on the role of a ghost who’s spirit can interact with nearby objects, like a poltergeist playing tricks on unsuspecting victims. You’ll have to use whatever ...
